Partner & Clinical Negligence Solicitor

Margaret is a Partner and Clinical Negligence Solicitor specialising in birth injury claims. 

She has over 17 years of experience to her name and boasts accreditations from APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) as both a Senior Litigator and Clinical Negligence Specialist.

She has represented clients in  variety of claims involving medical negligence, such as delay in diagnosis, negligent surgery claims, fatal claims, and has experience of running cases up to and including Trial.

Her particular area of expertise is in cases involving significant brain injuries in children due to birth injury, delayed treatment of meningitis, herpes simplex virus, and wrongful birth injury claims. She is passionate about working closely with clients to understand the circumstances surrounding their medical mistreatment and strives to provide them with answers and closure.

Margaret finds it rewarding to see her clients receive compensation that can be used to fund essential care, therapies, and equipment that improves their quality of life. She also finds fulfilment when her work leads to policy changes, such as the implementation of a "blue light" process for delivering emergency blood supplies at an independent treatment centre after a tragic case she handled.

In addition to her casework, Margaret is passionate about training and mentoring new paralegals and trainee solicitors, helping them develop the knowledge and skills they need to advance their legal careers. She takes great pride in seeing them flourish in post-qualification roles.
